Monday Madness

Another week of potpourri....... Have fun!

1. Do you own a dishwasher (and if not, do you even want one), or do you have to do your dishes by hand?
Yes, I have a dishwasher, and I love it. But I also find soapy dishwater very therapeutic (probably because I don't have to wash dishesf or 12 people three times each day!).

2. Do you put your dishes away immediately after washing them?
If they are hand-washed, no; they drip dry. A leftover from my childhood years of drying dishes.
If they are machine-washed, I usually let them air-dry for awhile. The dishwasher is usually run at 2 a.m., so I get to putting things away the next day sometime.

3. In the warm weather, do you like hanging your laundry out on the clothesline to dry, or do you prefer a dryer?
My mom always did this. I wish I could, but there are two problems: 1) I don't have a clothesline and I doubt the Homeowners' Association would be enthusiastic about flapping underwear and sheets; and 2) most importantly, I have allergies, so the only time I could safely hang out laundry would be winter. And who wants to do that?!

4. How many loads of laundry are done in your household each week?
Approx. 6 by the time we get the towels, sheets and clothes sorted. And they are usually pretty big loads. A big week involves 7 or 8 loads.

5. Do you own a pet? If so, do you buy them presents for holidays? Do you consider your pet(s) spoiled? If you don't own one, do you think you will one day?
When we had a dog, I always bought her a bone or special treat for Christmas, and I'd wrap it after cutting a hole in any packaging so she could smell it. Otherwise, she wasn't particularly spoiled I don't think. But I wouldn't admit it if she were, would I?
Now that we have guinea pigs only, I don't buy them gifts. They get special snacks once in awhile, but otherwise the only huge difference is they may get held and petted more on a holiday than normal.

6. It's Friday evening and you're planning your weekend. What's on your agenda?
Friday night usually involves a long, hot bath for me.
Otherwise, it kind of depends on whether I work Saturday. We usually play it by hear. However, now that football (pre-)season has started, Sunday has built-in game time scheduled.
